Hi all! I'm new to the note 2 and so far I love it. Coming from the lg optimus g there is a ton to learn on here (not bashing any of the great ppl who made this phone even better) I'm just looking for advice and a direction I should go. What roms you like and why. I assume if I go cm I'll lose all the s pen features? I look forward to helping and being apart of the note 2 on xda. Thanks for all your input
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] saboture:
Hi, welcome to the Note 2 Side of XDA. I'll show you what my phone looks like, and why I have it set up as such.

Generally you'll lose all of the Samsung touchwiz features if you move to cm or any other AOSP rom, that includes the amazing camera, advanced S-pen functionality and some of the more gimmicky features offered by TW.

I'm currently running AOSPA 3+ using the devil kernel found over on the Verizon note 2 original android section. I've got quite a few mods running as well (Xposed framework etc) but here's the rundown. I I'm particularly a fan of Paranoid Android colors, because it themes the notification bar and nav bar based on what app you're in. Being be to use Halo is a huge plus as well, along side the per app dpi options.

(Starting from furthest left to furthest right)

To gain some of the S-pen functionality back there's a few apps you can install, some need to be bought to attain full use though.

CM S-pen add on

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.cmspen

This allows an AOSP rom to detect when the S-pen has been removed and reinserted.

Note Buddy

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.spen_helper

This will add S-pen sounds, an S-pen menu in the notification shade, and auto launch an app to imitate the pop up note effect.

Float note

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1803284

Basically this is used in conjunction with note buddy so that when you remove the S-pen, This floating note app pops up.

As for all the other touchwiz junk, someone else will have to chime in, because I don't use TW roms. Not enough theming capability, and touchwiz is a resource hog.

Hope this helps ya out. Hopefully other people will chime in a out what rom they use and why.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
All the ROMs are available in the development sections. It is a matter of preference and members are expected to thoroughly read about the software they are about to drastically alter their $700 device with. There is no "Best". The ones on the top pages are certainly the most popular. The only thing you will get with a thread like this is a list of what every user has found to be their favorite...which may not be the same as your idea of what you are looking for. Please take the time and do the research. If you have a question about a specific ROM then you are welcome to create a thread in Q&A to ask, look for a Q&A for that ROM or ask in that ROM thread after achieving 10 posts.

Thank you for your cooperation

Hi all,

Has anyone suffered from the infinite reboot bug? I was running into it these last 2 weeks. This evening it was occurring. And after taking a well needed nap, I noticed my device "overheating" from the reboots... I took out the battery and tried to reboot it. And now the device won't turn on. It seems bricked :(. I'm pluging it into my computer and there is no power at all. :( :( Help me please :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mightykc:
Boot into download mode and Odin back to stock. That should fix it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nycjv321:
ummm

The device seems completely dead :(. I am holding the power button for 10 seconds and it doesn't come on. And no power is sent to the device when its plugged via usb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TillmanFam2007:
RE:

IDK, usually I would recommend what was mentioned.

Flash stock image via Odin, but sounds like you have a bigger problem.

I would remove the battery and let it sit overnight, if that doesn't work try replacing the battery.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DataHawg:
Boot into download mode. To do that hold power, home, and volume down at the same time for 10 seconds. If that works you are not bricked. You can flash back to stock from download mode with Odin on your pc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] otisman:
Check your batt might have burnt it leave phone in charger with batt in try and turn phone on then and see had a batt go bad on me and was doing something as you explaining when plug in it would boot after a while alohas
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nycjv321:
battery was fine. I went to t-mobile and got the phone replaced. Is the infinite reboot bug fixed? I want to use my microsd slot :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Never had the problem. Put a new 32GB card in the phone when I got the phone. Didn't see the point in 64GB. It is almost empty even now except for 9-10 movies and the backups for various things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nycjv321:
Looks like it was a faulty device. Problem not occuring in new device with microsd inserted in device.

Whenever I run the exe to upgrade to 2003se the upgrade starts but soon reboots my qtekl1010 with no changes done, what can I do
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] xpq:
I don't know whitch OS do you have on your Wallaby but the first thing that I would do is downgrading my OS to A.30.09 ENG in original stance and then I would try to install WM2003SE.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] xpq:
Gosh, I'm new here and I've forgotten that I can check your OS in your profile.

So when I know which OS do you have, I've got one question.

Have you ever tried to change OS to something different than WM2003SE via Active Sync? And if yes: was it successful?
[Moto X General] Island_King:
Hey guys this is my first post so I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I just wanted to share some information that may be beneficial to those that bought a Developer Edition phone prior to the recent price drop ($649 to $549). Anyhow, I contacted Motorola to see if I could be reimbursed for the price difference and was told that I because I had purchased my phone more than 14 days ago that they would not be able to make up the difference. While this was completely understandable, I was surprised to hear the customer service agent say that although they could not make up the difference via Google Play or Motorola credit, that they would send a pair of Sol Republic Jax earbuds free of charge. This phone call occurred yesterday and I'm happy to say that I received an email confirming the complimentary earbuds had been shipped. I was not expecting this sort of customer service but I am very pleased with the way that Motorola handled the situation when they really did not have to do anything. I just felt like sharing this story and I hope that others will have similar success!
[Moto X General] prissysox:
They had a glitch with my X order. Have gone above and beyond to correct it. Impressive customer service. Nice that they can tell you have an open ticket when you call and direct you to the department you need. Google needs to do thier CSR departments like this.
[Moto X General] alex94kumar:
Yeah, I had a few issues with my order too. Eventually got cleared up. Got an unexpected call the next afternoon, it was Moto customer support, personally calling me to make sure everything was cleared up!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sampson0420:
Looking for a way to use hardware buttons on my nexus 5 to start apps, flashlight etc. For example, if I long press the power button while the phone is off, it will launch voice search, if I triple click power button, flashlight turns on. Long press on volume up skips to next song, long press on volume down lauches directly into camera app,etc.

Any insight would be much appreciated.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aenews:
I have this old HTC Evo 4G lying around and wanted to get some solid performing AOSP ROM on it and make the most out of it. But the microUSB port is broken... I can't unlock the bootloader using HTC's site so it seems there is little to do. Can't root it, ROM it, or install a custom recovery. I manage to charge the batteries externally. Any suggestions?

Tried z4Root and neither the permanent nor temporary options worked.

Could there be a way to unlock the bootloader without connecting it to a computer? Is there anything else I can do? If not, any other suggestions?

Build Number/ Software Number 5.07.651

Android Version 2.3.5
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
You're pretty much stuck without a working USB port. Wireless ADB isn't an option since you're not rooted, and it doesn't work in fastboot, either. Not really any options other than keeping a spare battery handy or getting the device fixed or replaced.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aenews:
Thanks anyway

Yeah thanks for the help anyhow. I guess I can try wireless ADB if i ever miraculously find a way to root it. I'll see about fixing the port as a replacement costs a few bucks. It is apparently very hard to switch in the new port properly though. Thanks again!

The Development threads for the ATT Note 3, have tumble weeds blowing, and crickets chirping.

Really sucks, that such an awesome device like the Galaxy Note 3, with a locked firmware, just like my ATT S4 on MF3 :mad:

I was thinking of upgrading to the Note 3, from my S4, since I got screwed being on MF3, but seems the Note 3 is in no better shape than the S4 in that regard ?

MOD EDIT: Profanity is unacceptable on this site and has been removed
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dreDrennon1:
you can still make it sexy even with it locked

My Galaxy Note 3 Is A Definite Go!!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dreDrennon1:
Locked bootloader isn't holding me back lol

My Galaxy Note 3 Is A Definite Go!!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zorachus:
Good point. My S4 even though locked, is rooted, and I run Wannam Xposed Framework + Nova Launcher + Axis Icons, and several other .apk's, to really customize it.

But with ROM's, you can get kernels for better battery life, and smoother / faster performance.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dreDrennon1:
A room is pointless on this thing I get around 17 hours or of a charge with 5 hours of media usage watching videos and listening to music and 4 hours of screen on time normal usage is even better and the As far as being smooth I personally haven't experienced any lag really the phone is really smooth and fast right out of the box no need for all of the other stuff

My Galaxy Note 3 Is A Definite Go!!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hacktheplant:
I...need a asop ROM...I do not like touchwiz

This is very nice :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dreDrennon1:
I just went into wanam and had a field day out is all trial and error some stuff works for some but some didn't just go in there and Mrs with stuff lol look thru the themes section

My Galaxy Note 3 Is A Definite Go!!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Agent:
Don't give up hope folks. There are a lot of good devs working on this. They have lives too though so it will take time. If we had a way to guarantee pledges I'm sure that would help.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drwario:
How did u theme playstore, notify bar and stuff. I only was able to do what raider man posted
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sniper-joe:
What? The note 3 is locked? Is this just a temporary thing or will there be a fix soon? I was just about to buy one of these! Looks like I might have to reconsider the Nexus 5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zorachus:
Yep, ATT are being real douche bags lately. Just like my S4 running MF3 firmware, making the S4 locked down tight, with no Recovery allowed and little hope someone will break it.

The Note 3, looks to be the same. Doubtful we'll see a real Recovery on it. Maybe Safestrap at best.

So no custom kernels :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sniper-joe:
So just AT&T doing this, not Samsung? So Answer is avoid the carrier not the phone!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zorachus:
Seems to be ATT's fault, not Samsung.

I actually like ATT service here in Chicago, good price, better than T-Mobile network for me, but for them to start locking down their phones hard all of a sudden is a new thing. I had the ATT Note 2 last year, and it was rootable, and I had custom Recovery with ROM's. Same with my ATT Galaxy S2, was open to Recoveries.

But now ATT locked the S4 in a firmware update a few months ago, screwed that great phone up, and now out of the box the Note 3 seems to have a hard lock on it, with no true root and no custom Recovery option available, and no idea if anyone will be able to crack it ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dreDrennon1:
X posed framework, wanam, flash Gordon app, just look thru the themes section of the forum for this device and look through the threads in there you will be surprised as to what you may see hiding in there lol

My Galaxy Note 3 Is A Definite Go!!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] brokenartist:
I have to agree with you on this. AT&T does have exceptional service. However, them locking these phones is insane. I am almost half tempted to look on CL and buy a T-Mobile one and unlock it to work on AT&T
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zorachus:
I just checked the Verizon Note 3 Development threads, and wow, they actually have some nice ROM's going on in there.

Checked the ATT Note 3 Development thread = :crying: Tumble weeds blowing, and crickets chirping, NOTHING going on.

I thought a Verizon phone would more locked down, and harder to crack than an ATT phone ? When did this change, where Verizon is developer friendly over ATT ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jellydroid13:
The only difference between the two is that the ATT model is SElinux enforcing while the Verizon model is not. This means that hashcode has gotten his safestrap recovery working on the Verizon model but is still looking for a way to bypass the enforcements on our model.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hacktheplant:
Here give me a sec iv changed a few things here and there too without a bootloader.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Skizzy034:
It looks good but custom roms aren't always just about aesthetics.

I'm willing to bet that Loki would have been achieved long ago for the ATT Note 3 if the developer didn't retire it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zorachus:
Exactly. Look at the killer ROM's by Scott "CleanROM" he's been making on ATT phones, his S3 and Note 2 ROM's are amazing, but it still kept the stock look and style, almost 100% the same. But the greatness was all behind the scenes, great kernel for battery life, and OS optimizations to make the phone smoother, faster, and deleting crappy bloatware, etc... Only a custom ROM can do all of that.

I ran CleanROM on my Note 2, and it gave me like 1/3rd better battery life over stock, and the phone was smoother and faster than stock.

Just sucks we will never see CleanROM on the ATT Note 3, if the bootloader remains locked down, with no custom Recovery.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dreDrennon1:
Yeah I know that but what more could you possibly want that this phone doesn't do how much faster does it really need to be I don't think it can be any smoother at least for me I mean come on you have the top of the food chain device
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Skizzy034:
I agree with everything you said. The only thing I really like unlocked bootloaders for is the ability to do a nandroid backup and restore.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dreDrennon1:
Good point it is always good to have a backup

My Galaxy Note 3 Is A Definite Go!!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theROMinator:
I'm with you on CleanRom. I had it a while back on my Galaxy tab. Best ROM out there for those who prefer untouched UI with minimal, yet optimal performance tweaks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MrPlNK:
+1 on cleanROM

Ran it on my S4 and HTC One. Awesome developer and guy. I really hope they figure the bootloader out. Not taking any updates till I know whats what.. I watched AT&T pull some sneaky stuff with the s4 so I know better. I do wish we had some kind of update from the developers working on it to let us know if its even plausible or not
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zorachus:
Will ATT phone threads be removed from XDA soon ? I mean what's the point, if ATT is gonna do this from now on, lock down the phones so tight, never to be cracked. No Recoveries, no ROM's.

I am beyond pissed off at ATT, even Verizon is more open now.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dajakil:
My question is, what benefit does it do them to lock the phones? Can they control us better? Send us updates? Force us to use ATT apps? I don't get it. I think they actually lose some 'geeky' customers because of this. If the phone could be rooted, more geeks would buy it, am i right? I mean the only reason why i kept my S2 for so long was because of custom ROMs, otherwise it would have broken down like my mom and dads phones. Do you think they could intentionally want to slow down and reduce battery life of the phone after a year or so to force us into buying a new one? I know, a lot of questions. I'm a thinker :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] brokenartist:
I really want to get a Note 3. However I am waiting. It happened on my S4 which I hated. Went back to an iPhone. And now with the Note 3 being out and me having an upgrade available I really do want the phone. However do not feel like switching to Verizon or TMobile just to have a phone I can root and customize.

Like people had said before me if AT&T is planning on locking down all of their phones then why stick with them. Same reason why I left Apple to come to Android. Apple is too locked down. Android is more open. however not so much now on AT&T
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jg758p:
Att is taking away the prime principle behind android, freedom.... That liberty has been taken from us; its my phone, I bought it, that means I can do what I want to it. I'm not surprised that there are not more lawsuits about this.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] the1stSecond:
The unfortunate fact is we are the minority on this subject. If they (ATT) loose one of us as a customer they'll gain 10 sheeple in the same instant.

If Samsung can claim to Corporations their security is equal to Apple and Blackberry and end up losing x percentage of individuals that actually care about this stuff with the ATT carrier (very small percentage), then I suspect ATT will choose the larger market over us.

Now, why ATT went to the extent of all security measures available from Samsung out of the box with retail sales is a bit confusing to me. It would seem to me that a seperate firmware for commercial use could be made available.

But, that is more work for ATT and may be a result of analyis that told them their is no need for all that extra work when theoritacly the more security the better for everyone (again the few of us being ignored due to percieved non importance in the grand scheme).

All of this bloatware is out of hand, period. No one needs 10 different ways to access apps, share pictures, write notes, draw etc etc etc

Thats my thought process on it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zorachus:
Its a shock, when Verizon has become the more open carrier over ATT, never thought I'd see the day.

And Samsung has typically been pretty free with developers, but ATT is controlling the final firmware and updates we receive and locking them down tight.

First the S4 got screwed over by ATT, now the Note 3.

This is very disturbing. Defeats the purpose of owning an Android phone from ATT. And Safestrap is a band aid best, not true freedom of a real Recovery.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wase4711:
My wife and I had the original note, and now we both have note 2's

I have an upgrade available, and was holding out to see if some of the fantastic dev's here could somehow open up the Note 3, but it doesn't look promising..

I guess its an htc one or one max in my future...ATT/Samsung doesn't care about people like us at XDA...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Tarrence7791:
My note 3 is dying.. It needs roms flashed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kennonk:
I actually just bought an AT&T LG G2 this week. I have no doubt that eventually the awesome devs here will whip AT&T on this, but I am going to use the G2 until xmas. And if it doesn't happen by then I will probably gift my note3 to one of my kids...I was an idiot for giving up my Note2 before the Note3 was all sorted out. :eek:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dajakil:
By dying, do you mean slowing down/battery life/lag? I hope that doesn't start happening, i was hoping this quad core processor and 3gb ram would keep it fresh for at least 6 months. most android phones keep dying after a month ><
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Mayonesa:
Damn, just left sprints crappy service and i now find this out.

I didn't know att locked their phones like this.

I would like to flash a rom on this phone

I do have better service on att but i dont know.... Crap
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Blairware:
Petition is starting to gather some steam - we have over 450 signatures, but hope for many more. Every signature sends a message to AT&T that these are OUR devices, and that we will not abide with AT&T Locking down Samsung's Flagship Android Device, effectively using Apple, Inc's tactics on an ecosystem that has stormed the market primarily BECAUSE it is open in nature and extremely flexible. Take that away and you take Android's number one advantage over competing devices. How smart is that? This, from AT&T that implores it's customers to "Rethink Possible" *Why doesn't AT&T rethink possible, instead of your current tactic of *making development "IMPOSSIBLE"

Please sign this petition to send a message to*AT&T:*http://chn.ge/16NF0Dp

This is not region locking. It's not SIM locking, its outright DEVICE LOCKING and its a terrible development for the Android Platform. If it continues, it will stifle MOST of the development communities contribution to the platform. And it will cause Android Market Share to significantly decrease

ATT note 3... you are boring.

I paid full price on day 1. Got a little excited when I got you rooted. But now you are boring me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Lawsuits about what? There is no law stating a carrier can't lock a bootloader.

Also, you bought and own your phone but you need AT&T's service to make it work. And they don't owe you an unlocked bootloader.

You sound a little entitled to me.
